}

Depends on the data loaded, the table width varies. So, I want to make it look better by fixing the width of table. But I can’t. How can I make it to fix the table width?

I try to wrap the Display with Div and set the css class of Div too. But It still doesn’t work (for both display:table-cell or display:inline-block;. Thanks.

.commonList{
    overflow: hidden;
    background: #c0c0c0;
    display: table-cell 
    text-align: center;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
}

Edited: When I try to wrap the display table with Div of the above css setting, table width become 100% . but as each of the column of table has various width, it becomes so ugly because the first column becomes so wide (which only display id ,1 ,2 ,3 etc) And even my display tag pagination gone. How can I solve it? Thanks.

Answer 1

Here is my solution. for each columns, specify a certain class and use in Display Tag.

.displayTable {
    border: 1px solid #666;
    width: 100%;
    margin: 20px 0 20px 0 !important;

}

.colId{
width: 2%;
}

<display:column class="colId">
